Notes

1) A detailed temperature dependence with more than one parameter is available in the original publication. Here, only the temperature dependence at 298.15 K according to the van 't Hoff equation is presented.
12) Value at T = 293 K.
14) Value at T = 310 K.
20) Calculated using machine learning matrix completion methods (MCMs).
21) Several references are given in the list of Henry's law constants but not assigned to specific species.
68) Modarresi et al. (2007) use different descriptors for their calculations. They conclude that a genetic algorithm/radial basis function network (GA/RBFN) is the best QSPR model. Only these results are shown here.
81) Value at T = 288 K.
185) Value from the validation set for checking whether the model is satisfactory for compounds that are absent from the training set.
186) Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
230) Yao et al. (2002) compared two QSPR methods and found that radial basis function networks (RBFNs) are better than multiple linear regression. In their paper, they provide neither a definition nor the unit of their Henry's law constants. Comparing the values with those that they cite from Yaws (1999), it is assumed that they use the variant Hvpx and the unit atm.
231) English and Carroll (2001) provide several calculations. Here, the preferred value with explicit inclusion of hydrogen bonding parameters from a neural network is shown.
233) Calculated with a principal component analysis (PCA); see Suzuki et al. (1992) for details.
239) Calculated using linear free energy relationships (LFERs).
240) Calculated using SPARC Performs Automated Reasoning in Chemistry (SPARC).
241) Calculated using COSMOtherm.
243) Value from the training dataset.
244) Calculated using the GROMHE model.
245) Calculated using the SPARC approach.
246) Calculated using the HENRYWIN method.
259) Value given here as quoted by Dupeux et al. (2022).
260) Calculated using the COSMO-RS method.
275) Value from the test dataset.
278) Extrapolated from data measured between 40 °C and 80 °C.
280) Value from the training set.
330) It was found that Hs changes with the concentration of the solution.
342) Value obtained by applying the EPICS method; see Ayuttaya et al. (2001) for details.
343) Value obtained by applying the static cell (linear form) method; see Ayuttaya et al. (2001) for details.
344) Value obtained by applying the direct phase concentration ratio method; see Ayuttaya et al. (2001) for details.
358) Yaffe et al. (2003) list this species twice in their table, with different values. As it is unclear which is correct, the data are not reproduced here.
